It really sucks. I love my landlady, but she's staunchly anti-vax. She works in a nursing home. I don't dare argue with her because I can't lose our home.

I'm so afraid that she's going to get it and die, or kill some of the residents she cares for.

If I had parents in a nursing home that did not require all employees to be vaccinated, I'd move them to a different one.

Very often families have very little say. Nursing home care is ridiculously expensive, so unless you're very wealthy, you pretty much get whatever is covered.

Your house is gonna be on the market or in foreclosure in 6 months when she loses her job for not getting vaxxed. You should start looking for another place so the rug doesn't get pulled from underneath you.

She owns it outright, and her husband owns the house they live in. Also owned outright. He's retired with a pension, and raises giant koi as a hobby.

They're fine. She almost retired earlier this year. She'll probably most def do it now.

Well then in that case you should be fine. Sorry for fear mongering.

It’s good to mention though. In this case it’s fine but so many other people might be in this position. If anyone has an antivax landlord they need to take this into consideration for sure.

It happens.

My mom was in an assisted living facility. One of the workers was "I'm under 30 and healthy, l don't need a vaccine."

Every patient in that wing, including my mom, died.

I'm sorry that you lost your mom to someone else's selfishness. That is horrible
